Introduction

“Frontiers in Drug Design and Discovery” is an Ebook series devoted to publishing the latest and the most important advances in drug design and discovery. Eminent scientists write contributions on all areas of rational drug design and drug discovery including medicinal chemistry, in-silico drug design, combinatorial chemistry, high-throughput screening, drug targets, and structure-activity relationships. The Ebook series should prove to be of interest to all the pharmaceutical scientists involved in research in drug design and discovery. Each volume is devoted to the major advances in drug design and discovery. The Ebook series is essential reading to all scientists involved in drug design and discovery who wish to keep abreast of rapid and important developments in the field.

The sixth volume of this Ebook series focuses on drug discovery and design strategies for the treatment of Aheimer’s Diseases and related neurodegenerative disorders.

Indexed in: Book Citation Index, Science Edition, BIOSIS Previews, Scopus, EMBASE, Scilit, EBSCO, Ulrich's Periodicals Directory.
